I wonder when the Michael Sam rhetoric is going to start being about his game and not his sexuality. Considering that he was picked FIFTH TO LAST in the draft, I think that says a little something about his game. So the way I see it, Don Jones was tweeting about his game……not Sam’s sexuality. I would say OMG and HORRIBLE too when it comes to Sam’s game…….so why the fine and the “educational training?”

I was listening to Levin on Friday and he mentioned something about Harry Reid changing the boundaries of the desert tortoise reserve area to accommodate a developer that contributed to Reid’s campaign. I haven’t seen or heard anything about this outside of Levin’s show. Can anybody validate this claim? Perhaps a link. I love Levin’s show and I was trying to research this because I think it’s indicative of what’s happening with Mr. Bundy. However, I haven’t been able to find anything as of yet. Throw me a bone Blazers.

Start researching the FLPMA enacted in 1976 from what I interpret any action of law enforcement by the BLM has to be conducted through State and/or local authorities such as the Sheriff. So just the enforcement (and imo, overly zealous enforcement) act by BLM sounds like it is an illegal act, regardless if Mr. Bundy has committed a crime or not.
"Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA), which was adopted in 1976, stipulated that BLM had to go through the county sheriff for any action that required law enforcement. Nearly four decades later, the BLM (and virtually every other federal agency) totally and thoroughly ignores this requirement.
For those of us who still labor under the conviction that the U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land, it must be observed that the only crimes assigned to the federal government in the Constitution for law enforcement purposes are Treason, Piracy, Counterfeiting, and International law violations. That’s it! All other law enforcement matters are the purview of the individual states, according to the Tenth Amendment."

If Bundy was breaking the law and owed them $1.1M, why didn’t the BLM arrest him instead of using heavy handed tactics and a cattle roundup which cost more than the debt?
A decade ago, on June 23, 2003, the LA Times did an expose titled: THE SENATORS SONS, In Nevada, the Name to Know is Reid. This is where you will find many of the llinks to the cronyism Another article titled Harry Reid's Connection to Bundy Ranch Siege can be found at a site called Futurnamics.
A few other revelations on the character of the Reid & Sons:
- After 9/11 and the government planned to protect major targets, such as Hoover Dam with a by-pass bridge. Reid's sons, collectively, bought up all the land on both sides of the Dam, prior to the announcement of the build. They then, sold the land to the government, at a massive profit.
- Harry pressured DHS to push through visas for Asian investors (who were flagged for “suspicious financial activity”) in a casino project represented by Rory Reid.
- In 2011, Former Clark County Commissioner Rory Reid agreed to pay a $25,000 penalty from his own pocket to settle accusations he skirted campaign finance laws (when he was running for Governor of Nevada (he lost to Sandoval-R)) Reid was accused of funneling more than $900,000 to his gubernatorial campaign in 2010 through 90 shell organizations in an effort to bypass limits on political donations.

Wouldn't surprise me - but then if you read the above article - how does a person with no career Senior Service or years spent working within an agency and having a degree in an associated science - someone who is only 35 years old - get appointed to the highest post in an Agency? This had to be payoff for something - I have known several Directors and they were selected to be Directors based on their whole service to the various agencies that they had worked for. Not just one Senator - that is not a career at all.
"The U.S. Senate then voted 71-28 on April 8, 2014, to confirm Kornze as the new director of the agency."

Go to http://www.infowars.com/. I'm not super fond of Alex Jones but many times he's been on the money with this kind of stuff. He has some documents up that you can read and decide if you think Reid is involved. Personally - Reid is a scumbag and I not only believe he wants that reserve for his greedy azz bank account but I also think he wants Bundy's land as well. It's not about fees, turltes or cows...it's all about money, bull-shizzle the government and Harry Reid.

"Nevada native Senator Harry Reid (D-Nev.) knows something about the tortoise and how important its survival is. When a millionaire donor to Reid needed the BLM to fudge the boundaries of the desert tortoise’s protected habitat so that he could build a billion-dollar real estate development, it was not as precious a natural resource as it is now.
That donor, Harvey Whittemore, was convicted last May of making illegal campaign contributions to Reid. A news report of the verdict revealed, “Prosecutors said Whittemore gave money to family members and employees in 2007 to make contributions he had promised to Reid while concealing himself as the true source to skirt campaign finance laws.”
Harry Reid has another ominous tie to the federal government’s attempt to seize Bundy’s land. Just days ago, the Senate confirmed Neil Kornze, former senior adviser to Senator Reid, to head the BLM."

And next the name of the paper will be considered racist and they’ll have to change if from Crimson White to Crimson Of No Color.

Isn’t it ironic how Piers thinks this rally is in poor taste, but he was perfectly fine with the Million Muslim March on 9/11. He wasn’t worried about the effect it would have on the families of the WTC victims.

I agree. But you also have to consider that it started at $590M and since she took the lump sum payout, she only got $370M before taxes. That’s a $220M donation that supposedly goes to education. Yet we still hear stories about schools with 700 students but only 500 textbooks.

This girl is probably going to be the Sandra Fluke of the LGBT. I love the Liberal spin….it’s not about the crime, it’s about her sexuality, bigotry, hatred, and homophobia. I think the next time I get a ticket, I’m going to post my disdain for law enforcement on a t-shirt and label the cops for what they are……HETEROPHOBES. I think I’m even going to demand a ridiculous plea deal like this girl has been offered.

Dare I ask what percentage of the country was AGAINST Odumbacare…..and Congress moved against the public majority on that issue as well…..where was the (M)ao(S)ocialist(N)utjob(B)roadcasting(C)ommies outrage then?

Well, according to this article, there’s a pretty significant chance that Chris Matthews was wrong about it being a right-wing nut case. The article says that the individual was described as “dark-skinned.” Does that mean that they’re black or a minority? Cuz 97% of blacks and 70% of the minority vote went to Obama. Looking like a left wing nut case to me.

The far right huh? Let’s look back to the most recent incident with Christopher Dorner who was a left wing nut job who worshiped all the liberal bl0whards including Matthews. Killing cops in Southern California doesn’t rank with Matthews though. Any mention of Dorner’s manifesto was conveniently absent from Matthews segment. Remember when Chris Matthews used to be smart? Me neither.

Hillary Clinton was asked to comment about the terroristic bombing in Boston and her comments were eerily similar to those of the Benghazi attacks…..”At this point……what difference does it make that Americans were killed by terrorists?” Can’t wait for her to be elected in 2016.

@MARSSNW It seems to me that 8 U.S.C. 1325 is a federal offense (felony) that prohibits illegal entry into this country. But this President wants to reward them all with the rights afforded by the Constitution which includes gun ownership and voting. Are you going to argue that because they weren’t convicted, then it’s acceptable to you?
